Vector-borne diseases cause more than one million deaths globally per year. Thus, Horizon 2020 programme launches this call in order to find innovative solutions based on the large amount of data obtained from the Earth observation domain. Thereby, these solutions shall help to improve the ‘preparedness’ and response related to vector-borne disease outbreaks. The challenge […]

H2020: Fostering regulatory science to address combined exposures to industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals
Specific Challenge Under ‘Towards a zero-pollution ambition for a toxic free environment’, the European Green Deal will propose a new Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, aiming at better protection of both humans and the environment against hazardous chemicals. In addition, there is growing concern about the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment. Humans, wildlife and domestic […]

Horizon 2020: restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services
Underpinned by knowledge in the latest IPCC and IPBES reports, large-scale ecosystem restoration is urgent – the window of opportunity is closing rapidly. It needs a systemic approach to deliver tangible benefits on the European Green Deal actions for climate (mitigation, adaptation and disaster risk reduction), biodiversity, zero pollution and sustainable food systems (from farm […]

H2020: Testing and demonstrating systemic innovations in support of the Farm-to-Fork Strategy
Specific Challenge European food is recognised as being safe, nutritious and of high quality. It should now also become the global standard for sustainability. Although the transition to more sustainable systems is in its infancy, it remains a big challenge to feed a fast-growing world population and steer food systems within a safe and just operating space – encompassing planetary […]

Horizon 2020: Optimal treatment for patients with solid tumours in Europe through Artificial Intelligence
Demands of cancer care in Europe is significantly increasing as the number of cases is growing as well. Furthermore, it is expected to increase by 14.1% by 2030. Patients, experts and citizens are demanding new treatments to fight cancer as the knowledge of the biological complexity of cancer is wider due to new studies and […]

EIC Horizon Prize for ‘Fuel from the Sun: Artificial Photosynthesis’
The challenge encourages to build an bench-scale prototype of an artificial photosynthesis based system which would be able to produce an useable synthetic fuel. The artificial photosynthesis is understood as a process that can mimick the physical chemistry of natural photosynthesis within the absortion of solar energy in form the of photons. Thus, the solution […]

H2020. Returning Clinical Trial Data to study participants within a GDPR compliant and approved ethical framework
A large amount of high-quality health data is collected during clinical studies, but these valuable data are not used to the extent they merit. Subject to appropriate legal grounds, these data could be used to enrich patients’ healthcare records to improve clinical decision-making and reduce duplication in procedures/investigations. In addition, returning clinical trial data to […]
